The south and north were separated by the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River.
During the Tang Dynasty, the economic center was naturally in the north, with Chang 'an and Luoyang as the center of development.
However, Jiangnan's development was also very good. After all, during the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang visited Yangzhou seven times and forcefully raised Jiangnan's economy.
Especially the Grand Canal, which made the communication between the north and south much more convenient!
At this moment, Li Chufeng, Qin Qiong, and Wu Meiniang were floating down the canal.
Looking at the endless Grand Canal, Li Chufeng felt his heart open and his mood very comfortable.
"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, this Grand Canal is a great achievement!”
Li Chufeng couldn't help but praise.
"Merit for a thousand years?" Qin Qiong looked at Li Chufeng in confusion. He didn't quite understand what Li Chufeng meant.
"Young Master, you must mean that Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal is a waste of manpower and money, and will be reviled by the world, but the future generations will be able to enjoy the convenience of this Grand Canal!”
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed with wisdom as she spoke in a gentle tone.
Wu Meiniang's mother had already been taken over by Li Chufeng and was taken care of by Du Ruhui and the others in Taiyuan. Therefore, Wu Meiniang was now following Li Chufeng as his servant!
"That's right, Mei Niang is intelligent and will definitely have great achievements in the future!”
Li Chufeng smiled and nodded. He was still enjoying himself. Empress Wu Zetian was now calling him young master. This feeling was simply too good!
"Hehehe ~ Thank you for your praise, Young Master!”
Wu Meiniang was delighted.
"Eh!" But Qin Qiong rolled his eyes when he saw this and did not speak anymore. If he spoke again, he would make it seem like he was very stupid!
...
"Dong dong dong!"
Just as the three of them were admiring the scenery along the way, a series of intense drumbeats suddenly sounded. A few small boats suddenly appeared and blocked the Grand Canal.
"Hiss, nephew, be careful. We must have encountered pirates!”
Qin Qiong's pupils constricted. He immediately stood on Li Chufeng's body and spoke with a solemn expression.
"This is really a little unlucky. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let the soldiers split up!”A trace of annoyance flashed through Li Chufeng's eyes. A thousand soldiers was too many. He had the soldiers split up and head south. They had agreed to meet in Quanzhou!
Now, they had encountered a water thief!
"Young Master, don't be afraid. I heard that the pirates on the Grand Canal only rob money and don't harm lives!”
Wu Meiniang's face was slightly pale. Clearly, she was also quite frightened, and her tone was somewhat trembling.
"It really is!"
Li Chu Feng's ship was following a group of ships down the river. It could barely be considered a fleet!
At this moment, a middle-aged man on the leading ship took out a large bag of money and handed it to the pirates blocking the way!
There was no disagreement, and the pirates quietly controlled the ships to make way.
"Set sail!"
Sounds came from the ship ahead. Clearly, the matter had been resolved!
"Alright, it seems like everything is fine now!" A smile also appeared on Qin Qiong's face. After all, he was still sick. If he really fought with the pirates, he probably wouldn't be able to protect Li Chufeng!
"Yeah, it seems like I still have to learn some martial arts!”Li Chufeng nodded and said thoughtfully. The security of ancient times was indeed not very good. If he didn't have any martial arts, something would inevitably happen!
"Not bad! I'll teach you when we get ashore! It would be a pity if you didn't practice martial arts!”
Qin Qiong looked at Li Chufeng seriously and said repeatedly.
During this period of training, Li Chufeng had naturally displayed his abilities. That was his innate divine strength. A wooden stake that could only be carried by two ordinary soldiers could be carried by Li Chufeng alone!
Li Chufeng was only thirteen years old! He was still young, but his strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary adult. It would be a pity if he did not practice martial arts with his aptitude!
"Good! Then I'll have Uncle Qin be stricter with me!”
Li Chufeng replied with a smile.
As the two of them spoke, the boat slowly rowed to the place where the pirates had blocked their way. They thought that this matter had already passed.
Unexpectedly, a pirate suddenly shouted!
"Stop! Stop this ship!"
It was Li Chufeng's boat!
